I came home today to find my young (8 mo?) Rooster with a heavily injured comb. It was shredded and dangling so I opted to shear the rest off to hopefully make treating a little easier. After trimming with sterilized scissors, I used copious amounts of stop bleed powder--which mostly helped but...

I have one surviving member of the newest brood my chook hatched. Dam: BB red oegb Sire: barred oegb (silver diluted) There were four offspring: one was very red, one was golden, one was barred, and then there's this one..... It's got the wild type color pattern but it had a black collar. Now...

Hoping someone can put an end to my confusion! My Silver Duckwing male red to my BB Red female and resulted in a wide variety of babies. I can identify most of their colors (most are silver with red dilutes) but one in particular strikes me as slightly odd. ^^^ This here is my buddy...

Help! This is my d'uccle rooster. Lately he's been slightly less social than usual and his comb seems to have darkened. The comb also feels cold at the ends but it's the middle of June. Is it avian flu?? What do I do???!!

What are these?! They have black feathers that appear blue, green, and purple in the light. They have little white feathers on their necks. They have virtually no combs compared to their siblings... And within the two, you can see differences (like the amount of white on their necks, and that...

My OEGBs are beginning to mature which has gotten me thinking about breeding. I have two in particular that I'm considering. They are two types of OEGBs and I wanted to know: What kind of cross would these two produce? (Brown=hen, grey=roo) Also: When the hen lays fertile eggs, should I...

I made another post with some of the same birds but I'd like to see specifically what these are. I have 3 similar chicks. Two light grey, one dark brown with a red patch near the base of the neck. I'll have to say, when the red feathers grew in, I was alarmed. It looked like blood! Thankfully...

I have 6 bantam chicks and not entirely sure what breed or sex they are. I mostly want to know their breed but gender would be a bonus. Here's what I know: All six birds are bantams All are in the 3-5 week old range The two big fluffy ones are super friendly (I believe they are some type of...
